Slot - could he be in trouble?

Ferguson got shot of Ince who was at the top of his game when he was getting ahead of himself. Sent a great message out as well as to who really was the 'guvnor' :lol:

The more I hear about Ferguson the less impressed I am about his great management skills.

Yes, it really backfired on him didn't it.

He did loads of stupid things and should have been even more successful.

For example he got rid of Jap Stam when he was a brilliant player and would have had him at his peak playing years.

He badly handled the exits of Beckham and Van Nistlerooy

He did not replace Paul Scholes

He appointed David Moyes as his successor.

Salah has always been an absolute prick when he's not playing.

At least once he threw a proper tantrum under Klopp when he was dropped for playing poorly.

He's also just being a whiny little bitch. He's started 12 of their 15 league games this season and has been largely crap.

I know it's never going to happen, but I hope that Slot actually puts Salah in his place publicly. Addresses the fact that he is playing badly and that there are others who are playing significantly better. Make it clear that the players in the best form will play, not the players with the biggest reputation.

Players have way too much power nowadays.

Can you imagine Ferguson or Wenger rolling over for a player who went to the press to whine about not getting enough game time?

Totally agree mate. Too much player power these days
 
Big Jeff said:
Exactly. Utterly useless.

Imagine how many more titles they could have won if he could have persuaded Shearer to sign for Man Utd and retained Ronaldo and Stam.

That was class that!

Totally ridiculous argument, the decisions he made were part of the reason he had the success he did. It's been widely acknowledged that it was part of his genius
 
Crazy how absolute turmoil for them is 8th in the table and still probably qualifying for the next round of the champions league.

Their fan base would crumble if they had to go through what we have Dealt with over the last 5 years and 30 years with no silverware Or yourselves, Villa, horsepunchers (relegation), Leeds etc.

Was surprised Van Nisteleroy left.

Tbh mate I’m not sure if it’s a clear cut solution either way but there has to come a point where the manager puts his foot down and tells his troops to stop the mutiny or get relegated to the U21s/a January fire sale to somewhere shit. Sure it’s probably not nice for mo and van dick to go from star boys to sidelines but they need to remember 2 salient facts here

1. A place in the first team squad is EARNED and never a right

2. Even when benched they’re earning more money in a week than I would in 9 years at my current job

Playing in the PL all that time and getting a new stadium must have been heartbreaking as would Villa and the mags getting into the CL and winning a trophy.

No team in the PL compares to the shit we’ve been through. Not even close.

Says the fanbase that are known around the game for the best booooooo's. While being a constant in the PL and paying tens of millions for players.

I'd love to see your fans cope with league one.
